The Elephant Sanctuary | Nosey and Artie Meet

The recent expansion of Artie's habitat space has kept Artie active, as has embarked on extensive exploration day and night. In the course of one of these adventures, in an area referred to by Staff as "Sleepy Hollow," Artie eventually found his way to the fence line that connects with Asia Habitat. To The Sanctuary's great delight, he had the opportunity to meet Nosey! Opting to engage in hours of friendly sparring and trunk touches, the pair eventually parted ways, though Artie lingered around Asia Habitat, perhaps in the hope of another encounter with Nosey.
